#BookReview: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic (Adenashire #1) by @jpennerauthor



A human, a dwarf and an elf walk into a bake-off…

In the heart of Adenashire, where elfish enchantments and dwarven delights rule, Arleta Starstone, a human confectionist works twice as hard perfecting her unique blend of baking and apothecary herbs.

So when an orc neighbor secretly enters her creations into the prestigious Elven Baking Battle, Arleta faces a dilemma.

Being magicless, her participation in the competition could draw more scowls than smiles. And if Arleta wants to prove her talent and establish her culinary reputation, this human will need more than just her pastry craft to sweeten the odds.

While competing, she'll set off on a journey of mouthwatering pastries, self-discovery, heartwarming friendships and romance, while questioning whether winning the Baking Battle is the true prize.

Escape to for a delightful cozy fantasy where every twist is a treat and every turn a step closer to home.





⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was such a fun and cozy read! The mix of magic and baking really worked for me, and I loved how the town of Adenashire felt like a place I could escape to. The characters were charming, and the friendship dynamics were my favorite part—there’s something so heartwarming about watching a group come together. The plot had just the right amount of mystery and magic to keep me hooked, and while the pacing slowed down a bit in the middle, it picked right back up toward the end. I’m definitely curious to see what happens next!
